/in /by

The Nashville Predators Foundation and SmileDirectClub have announced that The New Beginnings Center, a resource facility helping women of low income to discover the strength in themselves through coaching in nutrition, fitness and behavior change, will be presented with a SuperGrant totaling $10,000 tonight (March 24) as the Predators host the Seattle Kraken at Bridgestone Arena. The SuperGrant will be used to support salaries as the need for additional part-time coaches grows.

“We are proud to partner with SmileDirectClub and provide The New Beginnings Center with our fourth SuperGrant of the season,” says Nashville Predators Vice President of Community Relations Rebecca King. “The New Beginnings Center offers life-changing programs for women while supporting their physical and mental well-being, and the Preds Foundation is thrilled to recognize this non-profit and the positive impact they are making in our community.”

The New Beginnings Center opened in 2011 and has since empowered over 3,500 women and teenage girls in the Middle Tennessee community. In 2022, the organization started the Iron Souls program, a holistic health and well-being program for teenage girls. The results of these programs provide improved health trajectories, reversed symptoms of preventable diseases and increased confidence.

“We are so grateful to be awarded a SuperGrant during Women’s History Month,” says The New Beginnings Center CEO Tash Weddle. “It brings a spotlight to the increasing need for services that support the physical and emotional well-being of women and teenage girls. Every day we witness lives being transformed with quality coaching that meets women and girls right where they are. This SuperGrant will help us develop and grow our coaching staff – our key deliverable for generating healthier bodies and minds and creating sustainable change. I am so proud of The New Beginnings and Iron Souls coaches who dedicate themselves to teaching and encouraging healthy lifestyle behaviors, one step at a time.”
